Legalistic Noncompliance Will the executive branch comply with court orders? That question has garnered a considerable amount of attention over the first few months of the second Trump

Dan Deacon @dtdeacon.bsky.social & I just uploaded a new/revised version of our paper “Legalistic Noncompliance.”

It’s about the Trump admin’s noncompliance with court orders - and how they’re using legal arguments to paper that over and conceal their defiance papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Kleinfeld (though he's not antitrust?). I personally don't have any confidence about who the NU leaker was though.

I'm editing a treatise chapter right now, and it's interestingly fulfilling in a different kind of way than other academic work. Don't tell the people voting on my tenure (wait, you say they're on here?), but I sort of envy the generations who could make a name this way.

How to Hide a Constitutional Crisis The executive branch is relying on the language of the law as cover to claim that it is complying with court orders when in fact it is not.

ICYMI: Dan Deacon @dtdeacon.bsky.social & I wrote a piece in The Atlantic about how the Trump admin uses the language of the law as cover to claim it is complying with court orders - when in fact it's not. And how courts respond.

The Strategy the Trump Administration Is Using to Hide Its Court Defiance The executive branch is relying on the language of the law as cover to claim that it is complying with court orders when in fact it is not.

The Trump administration uses the language of the law as cover to claim that it is complying with court orders when in fact it is not, Leah Litman and Daniel Deacon write. “We call this ‘legalistic noncompliance.’”

I trust our incoming dean is taking down notes about this for the next time we're battling with UVA for a hire. Only wildlife issue I can recall at Michigan involved a deer crashing through a window in the reading room.

I don't think Chicago has like an iconic breakfast "thing," but yeah maybe donuts is the closest. I like Firecakes in addition to Stan's.

I believe an electric Golf (and maybe an electric GTI) is planned. Personally I kinda wish BMW would bring back those weird Smart Car looking things.
